Looking for an n8n mentor to BUILD a social media automation WITH me (available now)

I'm on a tight timeframe, so I'm looking for someone available this week to pair up with me soon. I want to learn by building, not just watch - explaining the "why" at each step so I can build the next one myself.

The workflow I want to build together:

Source/content plan: a spreadsheet, or Microsoft tools (SharePoint / Excel / Lists) - also where drafts come back for approval
- Copywriting: an LLM (Claude or ChatGPT) via API writes the post
- Image/tile: Placid or Bannerbear (or Canva on Enterprise, for API access) creates the graphic
- Approval step: draft returns to the spreadsheet, approver gets an email/Teams prompt - nothing publishes until a human approves
- Publishing: Buffer or the LinkedIn API posts it once approved
- Orchestration: n8n runs it on a schedule and connects the steps

The deployment side matters most to me. I specifically want to learn how to self-host n8n inside a separate, secured environment (not just run it myself), because that's how it's likely to be set up. So I really need someone who knows:

How to install and run self-hosted n8n inside someone else's environment (e.g. their own cloud/servers)
- How to get scoped, professional access to that environment - without taking over anyone's passwords
- How to handle API keys and credentials securely, and hand everything over cleanly at the end

I don't need your resume - but I do need to know that you:

Have built this kind of n8n workflow before
- Can explain it to me simply, as we go
- Can meet my timeframe (start this week) Australian time
- Are available for follow-up training if I need it
- Are familiar with the tools above - or have a better way to do it
- Know the self-hosting / setup / access side described above (this is essential)

Format: A focused 1-day build-along session (roughly half to full day). Coach, mentor or tutor - whatever fits this best.

Budget: $500 AUD (~$330 USD) for the session. Open to discussing if your structure differs.

If that's you, comment or DM me. Thanks!
